I Dreamed Of Tea And Cookies....

Yesterday is but a blur of naps and some delicious 

 tea and cookies!!! 

As much as I had hoped for some company my body had other plans for me. I struggled most of the morning to get a few chores done and see if I needed to go out for a few things just in case it snows tonight.  The word now is that it might just be some wet snow and rain. I am glad because a little after lunch I fell asleep like sleeping beauty. 

I woke up and the sun had gone down and it was time to eat again. I missed my company and I felt at first as if I wasted a whole Saturday until I heard Austin tell me how I must of needed the sleep that my phone went off but "you seemed like you really needed the sleep". What is so cute about that is that is the same thing I am always telling him. I guess yesterday he was given me some mothering...

What ever the reason I agree, I needed it. After the session with Georgana she said I might need some rest and boy was she right. I am still feeling it this morning but was able to keep to my daily yoga practice of the Sun Salutation. 

Right now it is not the ritual I had set out in my mind but I am making sure I do it no matter what. Even if its in the middle of my kitchen floor in between Facebooking and making breakfast. 

I keep reminding myself that this is just a trial run before the first hits so if there are some bumps in the road that is fine as long as I work them out as I go. I even asked Austin what would he like to accomplish for himself this year. He told me this morning he would like to eat more healthy, learn Archery with me and as a hobby he will pick something then learn all about it..  

It is beautiful to be able to share some of his goals with him as we both step into 2014 with a new sense being. He has been watching me every morning stick to stretchering and the yoga, I am hoping soon he follows with taking better care his body as well. I can only be an example of the power of change and devotion if I am that example. 

There is a reason I set out on that journey almost 5 years ago and it was to be the best Mother I could be for my son. The fact that my illness stole those years from me do not bother me as much any more as it use to, I know now we still learned valuable lessons along the way. 

Now it is time to live fully from those lesson and embrace life as the adventure it was meant to be.

Today I will still listen to by body and give it the rest it needs while being an observer of my own life and how I have been living it...
